"Pirate Fuckin' Radio 100" celebrates the 5 year anniversary of Billy Jam's Hip Hop Slam by documenting it's 100th show. Billy Jam's show was originally broadcast from a college station but he ran into FCC issues and turned to the freedom of censorship free, commercial free low-watt pirate radio. The cd flows through two dozen tracks of mostly underground hip hop and turntablist studio tracks and live jams (many only available here) covering the station's history, amusing listener call ins and show and station IDs. The most notable names are the ones thoughtfully listed on the front of the insert: The Invisibl Skratch Piklz, The Space Travelers, Eddie Def, DJ Sushi, Kool Keith and Kut Masta Kurt, Money B, Peanut Butter Wolf and DJ Marz. Turntablism is a lot like drum 'n bass for me ... it all sounds about the same and gets tiresome after a short while, so it's good that there's a varied and creative assortment here of scratch, sample cut and paste, freestyle rhyme and old school rap and beats. My favorites: Peanut Butter Wolf's smooth sample collage "The Chronicles (I Will Always Love Her)", Kool Keith and Kut Masta Kurt's nasty and minimal "Keep it Real... Represent", Chief & Soci's Italian rap "Keeping It", DJ Stevie K's samples and scratch "Young Mixdown", Zion I's positive flow "Inner Light (icey mix) and Money B's crudely confident "Fuckin' Around". The insert includes historical and artist liner notes and, most importantly, instructions on how to build your own pirate radio station! Well worth the ~$12 domestic price, with a portion of the profits going to various charities. An accompanying VHS "Pirate Fuckin' Video" is also available ...
